Synopsis

The Monthly Religious Magazine. This issue presents a diverse collage of sermons, biographical sketches, literary criticism, poetry, travel writing, and moral-philosophical essays centered on religious life, social reform, and the growth of spirit. It features a memorial sermon for Rev. Jared M. Heard, a biographical sketch of John Wesley and the rise of Methodism, an observational piece on Sunday in Paris, and an extended cultural meditation on Norse paganism. Additional long essays discuss the growth of spiritual life through service, and a devotional treatise on praying in the name of Christ, along with art-critical analysis of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper. Translated hymns, devotional poetry, and brief Random Readings further anchor the issue in Civil War-era liberal Protestant thought. The issue foregrounds abolition, democracy, domestic piety, and the moral responsibilities of citizenship, while engaging European religious culture and art as lenses for American faith.
